The Joost van der Westhuizen thread.

This is the Errol Christie thread

Last commercial I saw with Adam West (Batman from TV series....see my avatar), he was looking kinda slow or something like that. Any updates on him lately?

Just watched BBC Ireland party political broadcast with Mr Paisley..... He does not look a very well man. If he doesn't pop off this year, I think next year will be his last

Late night TV on ITV Grampian pointed me towards Tom Weir. (b.1914) They still show repeats of his programme 'Weir's Way' up here. It is all the excitement you need. His sister Mollie died in late 2004. He is fairly famous in Scotland I suppose but I'm guessing no one else has heard of him. There is so little material on him that he may even be dead.

The Robert M Pirsig thread.

Robin Williams has joined the Dead Actors Society. Seems as if he has taken his own life

is he still here ? and wheres pussy g?

Nolan Sister and actress Bernie Nolan is suffering from breast cancer.

Just checked Chuck's official website, and it appears he's still performing one-nighters at the age of nearly 79. I reckon he'll go the day after he has to give up doing his show.

According to BBC News Richard Whiteley has been admitted to hospital. So today's conundrum is "MANONEIUP"

Denis Healey will be 88 tomorrow . Following the deaths of so many top Labour politcians recently i wonder how long he can go on for...

He has been mentioned here before, but Dick Bruna apparently hasn't made a new book since 2011 (sorry link is Dutch) www.zie.nl/achterklap/dick-bruna-al-sinds-2011-gestopt-met-tekenen/qj3zxnvf619c I believe i saw him on Utrecht central station a couple of years ago... looking very frail...

Chris Sievey, aka Frank Sidebottom, diagnosed with cancer. Never thought he'd be dying before John Cooper Clarke, but there you go.

Like DWB I was also doing a bit of casual DeathList research and think Ive stumbled across an exciting new possibility. It appears that Al Lewis who played Grampa Munster in the 1960s TV series is still alive and coming up to his 94th brithday. I cannot find any news of his recent health or his death but I have found a site where you can book him for a personal appearance - Perhaps he should be the guest of honour at the DeathList Xmas party.

It appears that the Austrian cardinal has decided to give the DeathList Committee confirmation of something we already suspected... http://www.mytelus.com/news/article.do?pag...ticleID=1424039 Thanks for the update Cardinal Schoenborn - be sure to let us know any further developments http://www.deathlist.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/tongue.png

Watership Down author now well into his 90s...

This is the place to discuss Joao Havelange

With JP2 unlikely to require an inclusion on next year's list perhaps it is time to consider a possible replacement for his holiness in the "Nearly Dead Religious Types" category. I would like to nominate Mr Jack Chick for this award. For those not aware of this gentleman's works (some claim him to be the world's most published author) you can check out his website >just here<. If you aren't keen on wading through that nonsense you can cut to the chase on his tract list page >just here<. Some of his best works revolve around some splendidly nonsensical decontruction of evolution and an almost beautifully simplistic solution to the whole Arab/Israeli conflict (convert the Arabs to Christianity). Whilst failing to turn me onto the word of God he has kept me laughing for a few years now. Mr Chick is now 81 and must be getting close to "going home to the Lord". Whilst rather reclusive (even finding his age is tricky) I believe he passes the fame test because of the sheer volume of works he has produced in his lifetime and the number of people who (perhaps without realising it) have read his ghastly little booklets.

He has been ill for many years with progressive supranuclear palsy and is in bad health. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-3161595/Ephraim-Hardcastle-Queen-set-appear-Antiques-Roadshow.html He deserves his own thread, I know people like Sir Creep will not know of him, but then again that creep guy was born in 1997 and has no idea of popular culture. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-3161595/Ephraim-Hardcastle-Queen-set-appear-Antiques-Roadshow.html

Already posted in the "Lord Lichfield" thread.... I happened to glance at a well-known celebrity mag where they had photos of Lichfield's memorial service. Lord Snowdon was there & didn't look at all well. Maybe a possibility for 2007?

Jesus! How long can this woman go on. Mind you I've seen pics of her from a few years back and she doesn't look bad for a 100-year old.

Thought we should have a seasonal thread. David Huddlestone, the bloke who played Santa Claus in Santa Claus: the Movie, is 84 now and has well and truly outlived his co-star, Dudley Moore. Probably one to do a seasonal check on! http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Huddleston

Well done, Carrie Fisher. You've killed yourself and possibly your mum with your lifestyle: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-12-29/debbie-reynolds-rushed-to-hospital-medical-emergency-reports/8152226
